A pure-Rust library to work with Linux kernel modules.
It provides support for loading and unloading kernel modules on Linux.
For further details, see init_module(2)
and delete_module(2)
manpages.
extern crate likemod;
use likemod::errors;
fn load_modfile(fpath: &std::path::Path) -> errors::Result<()> {
// Get a file descriptor to the kernel module object.
let fmod = std::fs::File::open(fpath)?;
// Assemble module parameters for loading.
let mut params = likemod::ModParams::new();
params.insert("bus_delay".to_string(), likemod::ModParamValue::Int(5));
// Try to load the module. It can fail if the kernel
// version and signature don't match.
let loader = likemod::ModLoader::default().set_parameters(params);
loader.load_module_file(&fmod)
}
Some more examples are available under examples.
This crate supports the following optional features:
async
: this provides an unload_async
method, using futures.Licensed under either of
at your option.
